Hello, I'm in need of some help.
I record via ffmpeg custom. Sometimes I do recordings for extralow bandwidth (i.e. old modems with up to 56kbps rate).
What I want to achieve
Using ffmpeg I have chosen 11khz mono being enough for my needs and encode it in 32kbps aac.
OBS has Advanced Output mode, where in Recording tab I set Audio Encoder Settings as I see them fit.
What I do
Set
This works as intended in ffmpeg (so that's not an issue on ffmpeg side, I checked it before posting).
Full config (
The result
OBS obeys 32kbps and uses AAC, but ignores my custom audio settings and overrides it to stereo 44khz, which sounds expectedly bad at 32kbps.
There are no errors in log file:
Could you please advise on a proper way of doing this?
Currently I think that OBS sets its own parameters after mine, thus they are overridden as a result. I need to somehow specify my

Currently I think that OBS sets its own parameters after mine, thus they are overridden as a result. I need to somehow specify my
-ac and -ar as priority settings.
